Another advantage of lowering a car is that the front fender well gaps are smaller with the wheel sitting higher up in them. This keeps some of the wind that the tires are blowing forwards from getting into the air on the sides of the car. You can see that on a rainy day the front wheels throwing water forward and out of the fender wells.

This is equivalent to compressing a larger volume of air into a smaller space. The net result is that air compression has to take place. Compressing air hinders thermofluid dynamics. It's really obvious if you think about it; it just requires a new way of looking at things that have long been considered 'normal' or 'de facto'.
That's just my opinion, of course...
